Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

Frederick held the coffee cup in his hand, with an expression of indifference that he was too lazy to act:

"Your concealment skills are too poor, and my memory has always been good, especially when it comes to vampires."

"..." Chloe was speechless, lowered his head slightly, and his hands hidden under his long sleeves unconsciously tightened.

After a moment, Chloe took a deep breath, looked up at Frederick, who looked like a harmless boy but was actually extremely dangerous, with a complex expression and a low voice:

"I was still young at the time and had no ability to distinguish right from wrong, but later I understood that my father, mother, brothers and sisters were the ones who were wrong..."

At this point, Chloe paused for a moment, and the emotions flowing in her ruby-like eyes became more and more complicated and difficult to understand:

"But even so, they are my family... Everyone has the right to blame them, except me who is protected by them."

Not far away, on the single sofa, Frederick was casually shaking the unflavored espresso in his hand, with an indifferent expression and a contemptuous tone:

"So, you are going to avenge them?"

Chloe pursed her lips and frowned unconsciously.

After a moment, she said in a deep voice: "No, I am not going to take revenge... As I said before, they are the wrong party... They are even unforgivable."

"... What a pity." Frederick sighed sincerely, and the regret in his words was pure.

Chloe stared at Frederick, the harmless executor of the Tribunal of the Church of Light, the "vampire hunter" who has been famous in the world for more than a thousand years and is known for his madness. After a while, he forced himself to look away, lowered his head and stared at his fingertips that had barely restrained the desire to attack with great effort and stopped shaking, and said slowly and lowly:

"... Your heart is so twisted, Miss Lucia, do you know?"

Frederick took a sip of coffee and said slowly and indifferently: "Knowing or not knowing, what's the difference? She is not a vampire."

"..." Chloe pursed her lips again, feeling speechless.

——This man, just like the rumors in the other world, is a madman, but most of the time he is bound by various rules and regulations, so it can't be seen.

It is rumored that the boss of a firm, Lucia the black cat, has a purifier teacher who belongs to the Church of Light. This is not a secret and has never been covered up.

Before today, although Chloe had never met the "boss's teacher" who rarely appeared in the firm, he was not completely ignorant of his identity information.

——He is just a law enforcer who follows the rules.

At that time, Chloe convinced herself so.

Now it seems...

After all, she wished too much.

...

On the north side of the Sky Garden, on a branch of the huge red maple tree.

Lucia, squatting on the shoulder of the Night Crow, quietly watching the drastic "changes" of the floating earth like a magical blockbuster, should have been the most focused, but she was distracted quietly and inappropriately.

"...Do you think she will leave?" The black kitten whispered in a low voice, as if talking to himself or asking.

"...She?" It took Night Crow a while to realize what Lucia was referring to, "Are you talking about Chloe?"

"Yes." Lucia sighed, her voice low, "The teacher was just an ordinary person. One day, a 'blood-blood clan' slaughtered all the people in the village where his family lived... He was the only 'survivor' and would have been taken away as a 'slave'. Thanks to an executor of the Church of Light who happened to pass by here, he was saved..."

"That 'blood-blood clan' is Chloe's eldest brother."

"About five hundred years ago, the teacher massacred the entire Grace family, and Chloe was the only survivor..."

"..." Night Crow was silent for a moment, really didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject, "How do you know this? Frederick doesn't look like the type who would tell people about his past..."

"The database of the Tribunal of the Church of Light has detailed records..." Lucia answered subconsciously, and suddenly reacted, glancing at the profile of Night Crow who was close at hand, "...Have you forgotten again that I am also a Purifier of the Church of Light?"

"..." Night Crow tried to make up for it guiltily, but failed, so he simply gave up and admitted frankly, "Okay, I did forget... Your identity really has no sense of existence..."

"...For the 'real gods', the identity of a clergyman of a church that believes in virtual gods is really hard to have any sense of existence." Lucia rolled her eyes and remained silent.At this moment, he couldn't help asking again, "Do you think Chloe will leave?"

"Maybe..." Night Crow hesitated, "Will it?"

"Ah... I think so too..." Lucia sighed slightly disappointedly, "The teacher's mental state has been much healthier in recent years, but on the issue of 'vampires', it is still..."

At this point, Lucia paused, as if looking for the right words, and finally just sighed: "Probably not good..."

In this regard, Night Crow didn't know how to comfort his little friend. After thinking for a long time, he could only try to divert the attention of the black cat:

"Speaking of which, if Chloe really leaves... It seems that there are no female employees in the firm?"

"Ah? No? Why do I feel..." Lucia was confused and couldn't help but start to count the genders of her own employees.

——Sure enough, the wise cat is also a cat.

Night Crow was secretly proud of himself, and began to count them calmly:

"Look, if you and I are not counted, the gender-neutral employees include Wang Bao and Kampers."

"The gender-free employees include Lei, Lucas, and Hongfeng."

"The male employees include Apophi, Longyue, Coco, and Chaos, who can barely be considered an informal employee, is also a man."

"As for female employees, isn't there only Chloe?"

Lucia's eyes widened in astonishment: "There is really only one female employee! Wait! Hongfeng's body is a tree, so how come Lei and Lucas are also gender-free?! Aren't they male?!"

Night Crow argued: "Lei was a man, but now his body is also a tree."

"As for Lucas... he is just a small part of that body, and that body is actually a mixture of more than a hundred people, with almost half of them being men and half being women."

"..."Lucia was stunned and speechless.

After a while, Black Cat said in great confusion: "Then why do I always have the illusion that there are a lot of women in the office..."

"Uh..." Night Crow thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's because my clone is wandering around?"

"..." Lucia was speechless.
